Anyone who would knowingly bring a sick child into the world (who would then have to spend a lifetime suffering)

Here is a link with some background on this case:

Judge orders abortion for disabled woman (Florida)

(snip...)Doctors at Jackson Memorial Hospital scheduled an abortion for last week, reports the Sun-Sentinel, but chose not to perform it because the baby appeared to be developing normally and there was no medical reason to terminate the pregnancy

This is not a sick child/baby being brought into this world. The doctors had scheduled an abortion, and cancelled it because the baby was NOT deformed/sick, and because the mother was in no immediate danger.

This article does not contain these facts except to mention that the baby "May/could" be deformed.

Thanks for a reasoned reply. Considering the state of the mother, I can't see how the baby couldn't be deformed.
